In presentation by Anand Rathi Securities group on the challenges and effects of demonetization, and am summarizing the points below for your benefit:1. Immediate impact: is expected to be negative all round:

a. In the short term it will be a logistical nightmare to manage the cash replacement in banks and smooth functioning of the banking system

b. slowdown in consumer spending due to limited cash availability

c. severe liquidity issues in cash based sectors like Real Estate and Jewelry

d. GDP will decline in the next 2 quarters due to reduction in overall spending

2. Over the next 4-5 months:Those having legitimate income will deposit it in banks and apart from the initial hassles associated with the banking system, they will have nothing to worry about.

However those having unaccounted money will face several problems as follows:

a. Those who choose to do nothing with the money, their notes will expire worthless. Every note is a liability of the Government (RBI), and thus notes becoming worthless will benefit the Government by extinguishing its liability.

b. Those who declare their unaccounted money, approx 60- 70% of the money will go to the Govt in the form of taxes and penalties.

c. There will be a third category who will try to launder their money, but which will entail severe risks including penalties and prosecution. However, the money sought to be laundered will anyway enter into circulation and remain therein.

It is expected that even if 50% of the around 14 lakh crores of old notes are legitimate, the remaining 50% or around Rs 7 lakh crores of unaccounted money will see around 60% to 80% thereof or approx Rs 5 lakh crores coming to the government in the form of extinguished RBI liability (point a above) and taxes and penalties. This Rs 5 lakh crores is enough to take care of India’s entire fiscal deficit for one year or more.

3. Overall Economic Impact:

a. GDP growth is expected to be negative for around 6 months. However subsequent 2 years will see sharp “hockey stick” revival in growth.

d. Currency is expected to strengthen as inflation drops and economy gets a boost.

e. Banking System will get a boost, as around Rs 7-8 lakh crores base money (new legal money) will enter the system, which will further create around 3-4 times more money due to re-circulation.

f. Real Estate and Jewelry sectors, though battered initially will stabilize in the next 6 months.

4. Effect on various Asset classes:

a. Bond prices will rise as interest rates drop.

b. Real Estate is expected to fall by around 20 -25 % and stabilize thereafter.

c. Effect on Gold is a bit uncertain, and may be neutral/ negative. Lower black money will depress demand, but at the same time Gold is a hedge against uncertainty and those still wanting to park black money may prefer to put it into Gold instead of cash.

d. Equity is expected to benefit the most due to three reasons. One, there will be a gradual shift from physical assets (real estate/ Gold) to financial assets. Two, the organised sector (corporate, especially listed ones) will benefit due to less cash transactions. Lastly, lower inflation and interest rates will benefit listed corporate through lower borrowing costs, thereby increasing their profitability and valuations.

Thus Asset Allocation and re balancing thereof will now play an even more important role, making proper financial planning imperative.

Lastly, the question may arise as to whether the new Rs 2000 Rupee notes will create more black money or not. While that is always a possibility, it should be noted that this demonetization would have created a psychological impact especially on large scale evaders who will definitely think twice before taking such action

New 2000 rs currency is not made with old currency material. Its similar to paper thickness. Within a week itself fake notes have entered the market.

The fake notes entered in market are color photocopy of 2000 currency. Since 2000 is new, many of them don’t know the features of it. Here are 3 steps to easily identify.

1. Security thread -The line which pass vertically through the currency. It appears green. On tilting the note it turns blue.
2. Front side of note, left bottom you can see a rectangle. On tilting the note and concentrating you can see 2000 in it.
3. The white portion of the currency will have watermark of Gandhi which is visible on showing to light.

On color photocopy these 3 features will not be seen.

Kindly share this information and spread awareness.

RBI in it’s latest circular RBI/2016-2017/123 DCM (Plg) No.1251/10.27.00/2016-17 has advised general public not to accept new currency note which has any text or sketch drawn on it.

This notification is as part of master circular published on 10th-Nov on withdrawal of Legal Tender of ₹500/- and ₹1000/- Bank Notes.

In a separate press release RBI governor Mr Urjit Patel has clarified that as part of Government’s initiate to curb the use of black money, new notes of ₹ 500/- and ₹ 2000/- are printed with latest cutting edge technology which cannot be counterfeited and from Jan-2017 will be deposited and dispensed using new electronic machines across all banks in India.

These German machines are imported as part of Modi’s digital India programme and will not be able to accept notes which have any text or sketch drawn on it. Reason for the same is in foreign countries, *p*eople do not write anything on the notes and hence their software are not designed to read anything apart from what’s printed on the note.

Pls forward this information to all your friends and *r*elatives (especially aged ones) to be extra careful while *a*ccepting these new notes to ensure that they do not accept currency notes which *h*ave anything written over it. *A*s such currency notes will no longer be accepted by banks or *RBI

New Re 1 Note…Rs 150 Coin…Rs 100 Coin…Rs 20 Coin…

Please it’s a request in public interest.

Do not give or offer new currency notes at gurudwaras, Mandir, churches, mosque or ANY religious places, till March 31, 2017.
So that, any committees or trust members or political personalities could not exchange their black money with the golak money or donation money.It’s a request just to stop these personalities from converting their black money into white money.Kindly note till March 31, 2017 stop your offerings.

Please forward to all concerns.

Unique opportunity for Film and Sports Celebrities, NGOs, Social Activists, and young citizens – They can consider helping in expressing their solidarity, mitigating inconvenience / hardship / angst of fellow citizens who will be standing in long queues outside Banks and Post Offices to exchange their OHD notes in coming weeks, by: 1) Helping distribute blank forms prescribed by RBI; 2) Helping common / uneducated people fill up these forms correctly and fully; 3) Guide people in attesting and attaching photocopies of their IDs; 4) Providing water / tea / coffee / snacks to the needy standing in queues; 5) Maintaining discipline in queues etc. – This will be their contribution to this second “freedom struggle” from corruption, terrorism and people who have not been paying direct and indirect taxes by transacting with black money, for ushering into “Surajya” for us and our future generations. 🙏🙏

How To Exchange Your Old Notes…All You Need To Know…

Decision was not sudden… It merely started with bank account for all. Then linked bank accounts with aadhar… Then brought disclosure of bank account passport and aadhar no. in income tax return… Add to it the various data mining and collection tools in the hands of the income tax department… Then the income disclosure scheme… And this masterstroke… Truly a systematic change in the last 2 years!!!

Timing is also key – 8 pm announcement means no possibility to make last moment transaction at jewellers shop or any impact on share market

Guys, just look at the timing! He’s totally screwed the satta bazaar who are betting thousands of crores on the US elections results today. The results will be out by 1 am, whereas the currency notes will be worthless from 12 am tonight…: That’s okay, Be at home. Don’t worry, Eat wat u have, Travel as u can, Ask for lift if u don’t have change
